This time we would like to introduce flavors from Setouchi that can be enjoyed even in Tokyo.
We’re talking about these. A product representing Kagawa prefecture, “soy sauce beans”.

In the past, the soybeans were made at home, and their special characteristic was the hard, firm texture of the finished product. However, nowadays even local residents often buy their beans at stores, and they have also become softer along with the times.
At least that’s what they say, but when taking the soy sauce beans out of their packaging, they are all very large with a firm shape. They are saltier than the average cooked beans, and only moderately sweet.
Soy sauce beans are apparently an essential on soy-sauce-loving Kagawa prefecture residents’ tables.

They are of course delicious eaten as is, and they are also highly popular as a side dish with udon noodles. There are also several recipes that use soy sauce beans.

They are moderately sweet, so they can be utilized in various Japanese-style meals.
They’re also delicious used as a seasoning when making takikomi rice (rice is seasoned and cooked with various ingredients).

Find your favorite and enjoy the nostalgic flavor!
